I wouldn't leave my keys in my car even if she told me she swallows and does ****.

kind of an old saying "locking something does not keep criminals out, it keeps honest people honest"
meaning, it keeps temptation away. because i doubt someone was checking your car everyday just hoping you would leave it unlocked with the keys in it.

I guess I'm just a pessimist by nature, but did anyone else immediately think of replying with something like this - "It sounds like you were able to get a shower and an alibi with the gf before the cops traced your address and showed up onsite. Kudos, my Zbro."
But seriously, I hope everything works out. Dealing with the insurance companies sucks.

^ This guy. Here in Indiana there are very few cars which can exceed 150. I only know of one and he's not even a trooper anymore. He actually got caught in a case of chasing a motorcycle down through my town and causing them to go faster and faster until they eventually wrecked. The family of the rider ended up suing the trooper for pushing the rider further. Thus resulting in a new state law, Troopers are not allowed to chase a rider for more than a mile. Also ended up in the state cutting back on their faster cars.
But in all seriousness to the OP, that sucks man. I feel so bad for you and hope that you get your money back from insurance. Good luck!

Unless the cop was literally pushing him with the bumper of the car, what you mentioned is IMO ridiculous. The rider was the one deciding to go faster, the cop wasn't forcing him to do anything. The rider could have pulled over and accepted his ticket for breaking the law at any time.
The lawsuit that you described is the ridiculous kind of nonsense that infuriates me about our legal system these days.
And back on topic… So, are you wanting to keep it and fix it, or praying that it gets totaled out, OP?

I'd fire that ninja you have guarding your car, he wasn't much help. By the looks of it, it'll get totaled and you don't have to worry about it anymore. But that all depends on the insurance adjuster, he can be easy to work with or the exact opposite. I have seen some be stubborn and fix it even though it needed to be left alone and sent to the salvage yard.

I found a pretty good link where the Supreme Court upheld the pursuit of motorcycles and concluded that the responsibility lies in the hands of the person deciding to evade capture, not in the police that are pursuing:

It's hard to beat a ruling from the highest court available, no?

Also, I did 140 in my z for an hour straight, Iowa interstate in the late hrs on a return trip from zdayz. One thing I learned, even on a well maintained interstate, bridge gussets are not fun. Have fun jumping a z into oblivion at 150 next time you try your hand at boosting cars. Or just review your escape route for flaws lol

+1 my thoughts exactly. I feel bad for what happened to the Z but he kinda had it coming. I would NEVER leave my keys in my car no matter where I'm at
